I work in a small office that is attached to a garage by an interior door. The garage is used to repair heavy equipment (Loaders, Back Hoe, Dozers) as well as gravel trucks. Should I have a C O sensor in the office?

Yes a CO detector should be in place based on the usage of the diesel engines etc.

I'm planning on going back to college currently I have a BS in Turf/Soil Science. What is the better option get another BS in Fire Science (I have 12 credits of) or a Masters in Emergency Management. I'm also enrolled to re-cert my expired EMT-B.

Asked by Brett over 10 years ago

Most deifinately the Masters in that it opens more doors since Emergency Management covers many areas, fire, ems, DHS, FEMA to list a few. Broadens your choices.

Do become a firefighter do you have to past the aerial ladder test? What if they you don't? Could a person still be a firefighter even though there afraid of heights? Do you have any advice.

Asked by Alex over 10 years ago

Generally if a dept does not have an aerial they dont do that but you still need to climb extension ladders. So you have two options work on your fear since extension ladders come with the job or change choices, but you usually cant have it both ways. Sorry being honest.

I forgot to turn off my oven broiler (oven was empty) for about 10 min, but sitting on the top of stove were my Publix Pilgrim salt & pepper shakers. My son said I could burn down our town house.
Is that true? if so how long would take?

Asked by Roxanne over 10 years ago

I would be amazed to see that happen but with that said stoves are designed to keep the heat in the oven. It is never a good thing to put things on the stove. So yes you could have a fire but it would take a faulty stove or accidently turning on the stovetop burners.
